Baby Update No. 5

How far along: 16 weeks and 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: I'm gonna be honest here and say that I stay far far far away from the scale... I'm sure its not as much as I think...

Maternity clothes: I'm probably gonna go buy some Maternity jeans tonight. The bella band is awesome, but now its starting to feel tight on my tummy...

Stretch marks:
None yet. I have been lathering myself in Palmer's coconut lotion. It smells soo good...

Sleep: Ok. I have been starting to get the leg cramps. (Don't worry, I'm eating bananas like crazy...) I've been waking up and going to the ladies room at least once every night... and when Mikey gets home....

Best moment this week:
This weekend I got a lot of stuff done around the house. (I finally have my energy back!) Its soo nice to have... I even made Pumpkin Chocolate chip Cookies from scratch, and they actually turned out yummy!

Movement: Nothing yet! I'm waiting on pins and needles to feel something. My trusty book says that I should feel something between now and 20 weeks! I'm anxious to feel anything.

Food cravings:
Umm... Does Carl's Jr's Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich count? I should be getting sick of it, but I'm not even close... I wake up it sounds good. Lunch and dinner are the same story... LOVE IT. And my Brother-In-Law, Cristopher's BBQ sauce. Trust me you will want to slather everything you eat in it... Soo Good!

Aversions: Re-fried beans still. This baby doesn't even like the sound of it. Bleh. Ground Beef I'm a little scared to eat. I haven't had a burger in a while...

Gender:
I have a evil plot! (ok not that evil...) I have a Doctor's appointment this Friday and I will be exactly 17 weeks! My awesome Sister-In-Law, Shayla said she bribed our doctor with yummy treats to see if they could find out early. So I have some Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie dough in the fridge ready to make that morning.... Cross your fingers for me!

What I miss: Not a whole lot. I feel pretty darn good these days...

Milestones: I'm feeling great! I have energy! I'm cooking again, and Baking! (I heart baking!)


Extra:
I feel a lot fatter than I am. I'm just barely showing and I shouldn't even be complaining. The reasons I feel fatter than I am is that its starting to be hard to get in and out of my bed. Its too high! Its starting to be really hard to bend over. The baby doesn't like to be squished! And of course my Jeans don't even come close to fitting. Which is more exciting than anything! I can't wait til I'm showing enough so I don't look fat. Right now it could be mistaken for a gut....
